Even if that challenge is the treacherous place called high school. People can't help but stare, whispering about her a spreading rumors. Naturally, Hero couldn't care less And there's Max, the golden boy, and Hero's sworn enemy since her first day. Annoying Max is Hero's part-time job, and Max gladly returns the favor. Max is the one guy who couldn't give a damn about her and her wheelchair. He doesn't stare at her like she's an alien, nor treat her like some delicate piece of China. Instead, He challenges her. And Hero can't stop away from a challenge *** Navigating high school is hard. Hero must fight to be heard. To be included. To clear stigma around what it's really like to be disabled, once and for all. It won't be easy, but nothing is every easy for Hero. Hero must face the harsh blows of reality. No matter how many people try to bring Hero down, she must continue to fight for what she wants, and maybe make an unexpected friend or two along the way? What really defines us in the end? Is it our physical capabilities? Our appearance? Even the most perfect people have a few impairments.

Edison

Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?
